Ingenuity Nails Third Flight On Mars With Longest Distance, Highest Speed

In its third consecutive successful Martian flight on April 25, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter travelled the farthest on Mars, that too at a higher speed. The rotorcraft surpassed its test-flight speed, which it registered on Earth, and covered 50 metres at a speed of two metres per second in its 80-second-long journey. Making first flight on Mars on April 19, Ingenuity will be preparing for a fourth flight soon.
